Biography
Roman Barbieri was born to a family of Italian immigrants in Chicago, Illinois, the son of an American Mafia enforcer. Roman Barbieri committed several murders for the Mafia while he was young, and he helped Sal Marcano in taking over New Orleans, Louisiana in 1934. Barbieri became Marcano's personal assassin, and he turned his enemies into ground meat in butcher shops, earning him the nickname "the Butcher". In 1966, he took over Pointe Verdun from Thomas Burke after Burke failed to deliver a shipment to the Marcanos, and he took over Burke's bootlegging racket. Barbieri would be tracked down to his scrapyard by Burke and Lincoln Clay after they dismantled his operations, and Barbieri was murdered by Burke; his skeletal corpse was found in the trunk of a sunken car in the Mississippi River.
